As confident as usual, Morgan announced that she wanted her ear's pierced and that was that. Explaining that it was going to hurt did nothing to dissuade her. She was ready. We went to Piercing Pagoda at the mall and she chose a cute pair of gold turtle earrings. She sat in the chair and waited for what, I am sure, felt to her like 3 hours for us to decide the perfect place for the marks to be placed on her little earlobes. Finally, she was ready. I could see her body tense and panic fill her little self. I told her to close her eyes and breathe with me. She started to breathe in and out very slowly and her body began to relax. The first one was done without so much as a flinch. I talked her through the second one and a big smile came to her face as she looked in the mirror at her newly pierced ears. We cleaned and turned them tonight and she went to bed proud of her new look.
